This is the reason I don not go to London unless absolutely necessary, even then I travel by taxi if possible and ask the driver not to speak to me.

People who say "He had a good innings" when referring to the recent death of an acquaintance. Like he was a f@cking cricketer? Like he spent his entire life batting against the Death XI? And I'm sorry, nothing under 100 is a good innings as far as I'm concerned. Now 501, that would be a good fricking innings!
Also (and in a less ranting style), p ...[text shortened]... wipe spittle from chin*
Oh, also, peole that think Burbery is fashionable, just die, please.

4.Continuesly malfunctioning tools/machinery.This makes me go berserk.I know there's a budget,but buying better tools/machinery,or having the old ones properly fixed,would actually save money.WHY CAN'T YOU FRICKING' UNDERSTAND ðŸ˜

people who keep saying "It's God's will that it happened." Or "It's all part of the divine plan"
People are all the time blaming God for everything... it is so bad that people wrote articles about WHY God allowed 911! (trying to keep from throwing up now). When are people going to learn that THEY are responsible for their actions!? Not some demon beast who has taken over their will!
One way to deal with telemarketers is to engage in this dialog:
You: I am afraid I am rather busy right now, could you please give me your home phone number so I could call you back?
Telemarketer: I am sorry, I can't give you my home phone number.
You: Is that because you don't want complete strangers calling you at home?
Telemarketer: Yes
You: Well, nor do I, so p*** off!

5. People who use online chess forums as a means of catharsis 😉
Aother thing... my little sister. There are these days... no matter what she does, it just totally pi$$es me off.
AND: People who used words I don't know in online forums... I somehow always feel the need to look up word I don't know... eg "catharsis" 😕

Before I write it, you should know that from about 9 am til 2 pm, there is nobody home at my house as my parents work and my sister and I go to school. So...
*Ring ring*
Me: Hello?
Teleguy: Yes, we are doing a survey (blablabla), could I ask you a few questions?
Me: I'm afraid I'm really in a hurry right now.
Teleguy: Could I call you back some other time maybe?
Me: Yeah... but please call in the morning around 10 am, as you probably won't reach me otherwise.
My mom started laughing so hard when I told her...

I daresay that if you were post in your native language a similar length missive to mine I'd be spending an awful lot of dictionary time looking up all the words I didn't know!
[Your English is largely excellent (as is nearly all of the English-as-a-second-language speakers on the site - perhaps unsurprising since it's an English site but still).]

although I will admit I lived in Boston for two years, even though that's been quite a while. I also read nearly exclusively in English. Usually, words I don't know don't bother me much, as they are mostly irrelevant to the general meaning of the sentence. But in this case... *argh*
largest benefit I have from having lived in the US: getting an A in English without ever trying 😉 Only exams I mess up in are translations... I really suck at those, as I think in English when I read English, so it's really an effort for me to find all the words in German... but I love writing essays 😛
